From the mid-1980s through the early-2000s, specialty substance abuse centers, facilities that provide both residential and outpatient treatment services, emerged as dominant players in national substance abuse treatment. During the early to mid-1990s, expensive inpatient and residential treatment, viewed as less cost effective than intensive outpatient treatment models, were targeted as an area for cost-cutting, particularly for private insurance.
If it is true that, unlike any other payer, private spending (three listed private categories combined) on substance abuse services grew only from \(4.6 billion in 1986 to \)4.7 in 2003 at an average annual growth rate of only 0.1%, which of the following statements can be determined to be accurate. Select \(True\) if it can be determined to be accurate from the information in the tabs. Otherwise, select \(False\)??????
| True | False | |
| Overall spending on substance abuse more than doubled from 1986 to 2003. | ||
| Private spending on substance abuse is expected to decrease only marginally in the projections from 2003 through 2006 and to 2014. | ||
| Private spending on mental health expenditures in 1986 was greater or expected to be greater than public other state and local such expenditures in any year listed. |

Official Solution:
Based on the conditions of the question and the figure on tab 2, then the $4.6 billion of private spending on substance abuse accounted for approximately 50% of $9.2 billion in overall substance abuse expenditures in 1986. Meanwhile, the $4.7 billion of private spending on substance abuse accounted for only approximately 23% of approximately $20.4 billion in overall substance abuse expenditures in 2003.
Therefore, the approximately $9.2 billion of overall on substance abuse expenditures in 1986 would be less than half of the approximately $20.4 billion of overall substance abuse expenditures in 2003.
Correct answer:
Overall spending on substance abuse more than doubled from 1986 to 2003.: True
Private spending on substance abuse is expected to decrease only marginally in the projections from 2003 through 2006 and to 2014.: False
